Press Play: Cub Sport – ‘Good Guys Go’

To kick off the new year and their upcoming biggest Australian tour to date (which is selling out FAST), followed by a massive North American run of shows and a JUST announced London headline show, Cub Sport give you the video for new single ‘Good Guys Go’. The track is about an unfortunately common theme; being in a relationship where you’re doing everything you can to keep the other person up and make sure they’re happy, but that attention and love isn’t being reciprocated.

Inspired by hearing similar situations told to him by friends over and over, lead singer Tim Nelson explained to The Fader; “I wrote Good Guys Go about an imbalanced relationship where emotional labour was going unrecognised. I saw the toll this cycle took, where one person was continually working so much harder than the other to keep the relationship afloat. I hope this song offers some sort of comfort to people who have felt the same.”

Directed by Joe Agius, the video is a dark neon fantasy which premiered on The Fader overnight. Inspired by images from fashion magazines and some of their favourite looks and moments from music videos by Michael Jackson, TLC, and Perfume Genius, the clip features Nelson dancing bathed in blue and pink neon light.

“We shot the video in real time with one roaming camera, which felt important for capturing the right mood and intensity for the song. Joe has a beautiful eye for colours and I feel like the palette throughout the clip compliments the song perfectly” – Tim Nelson
